Stationary belt sanders work very nicely. Nevertheless, although the belts oscillate up and down on most machines, you find yourself sporting out the decrease part of the belt lengthy earlier than the higher half is touched. That’s as a result of the work all the time sits at desk peak, and the belt can’t be reversed. To make use of the contemporary abrasive on the higher part of the belt, I increase workpieces with a easy auxiliary desk. Make the desk as thick as you want, and add cleats to the underside to stabilize it on the machine.
